"A scary place to stay. The door lock was broken, and no towels were provided. Don't stay at this motel.2018-09-03"
"The floor was filthy, and the alarm clock and lamps weren't plugged in. No pillowcases, towels, or even a shower curtain. We complained and a housekeeper put pillowcases on the pillows. The parking lot wasn't secure, and I didn't feel safe. Don't stay at this motel.2018-05-27"

"The motel room was small and crammed with furniture. The AC controls were close to the floor and too tiny and dark to read; I had to kneel on the dirty carpet to adjust the temperature. 2019-05-07"

"The motel needed a sign in front; it took me forever to find it. The staff was nice. Make reservations here.2015-06-08"

"Good motel for the price. It was quiet, clean, and had decent wireless Internet.2017-10-10"
"The motel was adequate, but just expect the basics. The electronics weren't high-tech. Friendly staff, and they provided good restaurant recommendations.2016-09-29"
"Good value. The motel was set back from the road, so it was quiet at night. The room was quite clean, and even though it was a smoking room, it didn't smell like an ashtray. The bed was firm and had a selection of pillows. Plenty of outlets available. The bathroom looked newly renovated. The toilet flushed well, and we never ran out of hot water. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low. The bathroom window was dirty and had paint on it, but was nice for cross-ventilation. A pleasant experience. Try it, you'll like it.2016-05-24"

"The room was fine for a night, but ask for one away from the freeway noise. The hotel clerk was helpful. OK continental breakfast, and the attendant kept things stocked. I did see a cockroach in the 1st floor hallway. 2018-01-31"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
